Northland Global: information and resources for international business in Clay County

12. Evaluate

Take time to examine how everything has proceeded so that you can improve next time. From your assessment of the market to delivery and payment, look hard at the processes you created and consider ways to improve them. Few import/export ventures will run with complete efficiency the first time but most problems can be solved if you have done your homework.

Another, outstanding source is the Department of Commerce's Export.gov Web site (www.export.gov) which even features an online export questionnaire that will rate a company's export readiness.

The information on this Web site is provided as a convenience to Clay County business owners and others interested in international trade. The Clay County Economic Development Council in no way warrants or guarantees this information, but offers it as helpful suggestions and links to specialists in the areas of global business.
